Text turns screen blue in additive blend
Every time I turn text to additive blend when I don't have Clear Every Frame checked it turns the screen blue. I've some cool effects with this but it basically just annoys me because replace covers up everything behind it. Does this only happen to me? Can I at least have it be something other than blue?

It's a bug that occurs in Win98 users... I only have Win98, so I don't know whether or not this is true.

I believe it's in the wishlist for this bug to be killed (correct me if I'm wrong, I didn't do a trip to the list for a long time).

If you want to get rid of it you can use color clip. For instance if you want it black set the colors to blue----> black...

The same goes for setting it to replace; it sets the entire screen black (well, slightly blue), and 50/50 decays by 2 to slightly blue.

Anyway, just don't use text. The only good use for it is pack intros.

Hmm, just found out that this problem is nonexistent in fullscreen mode... it's a bug alite...

You could try using replace and then putting the text into an effect list and setting the effect list blend mode to additive. Will eat up fps though.
